       3. The message expression method of  claim 1 , wherein the converting the touch input to the custom animation information comprises creating custom animation data that comprises a touch type sequence in which touch types of the plurality of touch actions that occur at a certain time interval are stored in temporal order. 
     
     
       4. The message expression method of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 setting a gesture recognition area for recognizing the input in response to activation of a keyboard in the chatroom. 
 
     
     
       5. The message expression method of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 setting a gesture recognition area for recognizing the input in response to activation of a preview for the message in the chatroom. 
 
     
     
       6. The message expression method of  claim 1 , wherein the message is entered by a first electronic device of a first user, and the animation information is sent to a second electronic device of a second user after data optimization is performed at a server. 
     
     
       7. The message expression method of  claim 1 , wherein the message is entered by a first electronic device of a first user, and the animation information is replaced with another animation information and sent to a second electronic device of a second user. 
     
     
       8. The message expression method of  claim 1 , wherein the message is entered by a first electronic device of a first user, and the message is converted to a message type of an animation file based on the animation information and then sent to a second electronic device of a second user. 
     
     
       9. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions that is executable by the at least one processor to perform the message expression method of  claim 1 . 
     
     
       10. A message expression method implemented by a computer apparatus including at least one processor configured to execute computer-readable instructions comprised in a memory, the method comprising:
 receiving a message that is entered in a message input area of a chatroom; 
 obtaining animation information based on an input applied to the message in the message input area; 
 modifying the message based on the animation information; and 
 displaying the modified message in a chat view area of the chatroom in response to receiving a message send request, 
 wherein the obtaining animation information comprises: 
 converting the touch input to a predefined animation effect in response to presence of the predefined animation effect that corresponds to the touch input; 
 converting the touch input to custom animation effect by storing a plurality of touch actions of the touch input in temporal order in response to absence of the predefined animation effect that corresponds to the touch input; and 
 obtaining the predefined animation effect or the custom animation effect as the animation information. 
 
     
     
       11. A computer apparatus comprising:
 at least one memory configured to store computer-readable instructions; and 
 at least one processor configured to execute the computer-readable instructions to: 
 receive a message that is entered in a message input area of a chatroom; 
 obtain animation information based on a touch input applied to the message in the message input area, by converting the touch input to custom animation information by storing a plurality of touch actions of the touch input in temporal order; 
 modify the message based on the animation information; and 
 display the modified message in a chat view of the chatroom in response to receiving a message send request, 
 wherein the input applied to the message in the message input area is the touch input that is formed with the plurality of touch actions, and 
 wherein the at least one processor is further configured to execute the computer-readable instructions to: convert the touch input to the custom animation information by storing the plurality of touch actions in temporal order. 
 
     
     
       12. A computer apparatus comprising:
 at least one memory configured to store computer-readable instructions; and 
 at least one processor configured to execute the computer-readable instructions to: 
 receive a message that is entered in a message input area of a chatroom; 
 obtain animation information based on an input applied to the message in the message input area; 
 modify the message based on the animation information; and 
 display the modified message in a chat view of the chatroom in response to receiving a message send request, 
 wherein the at least one processor is further configured to execute the computer-readable instructions to: 
 convert the touch input to a predefined animation effect in response to presence of the predefined animation effect that corresponds to the touch input;
